About: I’m a dedicated dog mom who treats every dog like my own. I provide personalized care, follow routines closely, and send regular updates. My home is a safe, loving environment, and my friendly miniature poodle, Knox, enjoys making new dog friends. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a dog mom myself. I work during the day, but I’m able to come home and check on pups throughout the day. Evenings and weekends are when I have the most availability for walks, playtime, cuddles, and one-on-one attention. I make sure every dog gets plenty of care, exercise, and companionship while they’re with me. In my home, dogs are treated like part of the family. I have a backyard where they can safely run and play, and I can easily accommodate crate-trained dogs if needed. My miniature poodle, Knox, is friendly and enjoys having dog friends to play with and keep him company. We stay active with multiple walks throughout the day, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I do my best to follow each dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home during their stay.
“Anna took such great care of my dogs. They’re both anxious but she made them feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and updates daily without me asking for them and I really appreciated that. I drove 30 min knowing they would be in good hands. I would def recommend Anna! Thanks so much! 🙏🏻”
“Rachel was great, she made it convenient for me to drop my dog off for boarding, and when I picked him Up he jumped over to Rachel and gave her a big hug, I think he wanted to stay with her, he might like her more than me!!”
“Kathy was amazing!! She’s super sweet, gentle , Extremely nurturing and kind . Kathy watched my doodle along with my sister’s doodle for 6 nights… got great pics and updates daily. Both dogs were well taken care of, and so happy !! Kathy goes the extra mile to make sure the dogs are content and happy!!! We felt confident that the dogs were in a good place and well taken care of while we were on vacation …. highly recommend!!!”
“We’ve been using Pamela for 5 years now with absolutely no issues. Our little dog Walter loves going to her house! Pamela is responsive, kind, and honest. She always responds quickly with her availability and she is almost ALWAYS available, even sometimes for last-minute bookings. We will return to Pamela again and again!”
“Haley was an amazing host! Very communicative and kept us informed through the entire visit. Our Copper really seemed to enjoy his weekend stay! We will definitely use Haley’s services again! 5 ⭐️”
“They helped me out TONS by watching my Shih Tzu for about 6 days. I’ve never used Rover before, so I was a little hesitant at first. Everything went smooth and they were flexible on drop off & pickup times since we drove all day. My dog seemed extremely comfortable @ pickup and we got several pics throughout the week! I would definitely book with them again.”
“Beth and Edward took great care of my puppy Moose. It is very obvious that they have a ton of experience with dogs of all breeds and ages, which made me very comfortable leaving Moose with them for 4 nights. I received update pictures multiple times a day, and Moose was always playing or cuddling! I can tell the dogs that stay with them are loved like their own. Thank you Beth and Edward!”
“Susan came highly recommended by a couple of our neighbors. After our meet&greet, we were very excited for our dog to spend a long weekend at their house. We were not disappointed. Bryce had a great time! Susan was very good in sending lots of updates, pictures and a few movies. They also took very good care of Bryce. It is the ideal set up for small to medium sized dogs. We will definitely contact them again in the future.”
About: We have each had dogs our entire lives. We currently have husky who is 1 1/2 years old and a 2 year old mini Australian Shepherd. They are both rescues. They are playful and enjoy being around other dogs. Free for plenty of walks and playtime during the day. I work from home with a very flexible schedule and will be able to keep a good eye on your dog. We have a pet friendly home inside and out. Our yard is fenced in. We have dog toys and balls all over. The dogs get plenty of exercise throughout the day.
“Loved Ariel! Easy to work with, great personality, clean home and quick communication. Kept sending us pictures of our cat and showed how well he was getting along with all the other animals. We will definitely be working with her again for our next vacation. Thanks Ariel!”
“As other reviewers have said, we were also nervous about leaving our five-month-old Mei Mei for the first time. Susan and Kenny were fabulous, providing knowledgeable, loving care and comforting cuddles. We also valued the periodic updates with photos! Mei Mei came home happy and her genuine, joyful self! We are so grateful.”
“Patchareya was an excellent sitter for my pup. She communicates regularly and provides a lot of care and affection for small dogs. If you have a small dog I would highly recommend her for your future boarding needs. I know I will!”
“Icy has a lot of anxiety when he needs to be boarded. Wendy did a great job caring for his needs. She has a beautiful home with everything required to keep a dog happy, healthy, safe and comfortable. Thank you Wendy!!”
“Kyle is absolutely amazing! I’ve had some horrible Rover experiences so I was very anxious about using it again, but Kyle has dispelled all of that. My girls literally LOVED him from the moment they met him which is wild because my dogs don’t ever warm up that quickly! Kyle has helped me out with last minute care a couple of times now and I’m so grateful. He takes them on walks and sends TONS of videos and pictures. I can tell he truly loves dogs and caring for them, which is all that I want in a sitter. 100/10 recommend. I will always use him!❤️”
“Absolutely outstanding with our pup, sent us pictures of Zoey during her stay and was super attentive and thorough to our pets needs. Will book with Kaitlynn again! Thank you!”
“I'm so happy I found Tara and Peter. they have watched Denali before. This most recent was an extend 2 week stay. They updated me with so many pictures. Also cared for some abnormal things they saw in him, that turned out to be nothing. They identified it let me know and we were on the same page. Not having my dog with me is tough but knowing he was cared for, running and playing with his new friends was reassuring. Denali will be back”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”

Maria was the absolute best! We’ve never boarded our dogs before so we were nervous but she was so amazing with them. She sent us updates and photos throughout their stay to show us how much fun they had. She was so great with keeping their schedule to help with normalcy. Her dog is also so cute! If we ever need anyone again we will definitely be going back to her!
Monique is the best! She takes such great care of our dogs. She administered medication and I felt so comfortable leaving them with her. This is the second time she has kept them for us and I am immediately booking her again. She was so flexible with pickups and drop offs and it’s easy to tell that she is so good with them! Highly recommended!
